TO ALL WHOM IT.MAY CONCERN:

Be it'known that I, E.

- Figure 2, the attachment,

The nature" of my invention consists in the combination of the hinged draught-plate, with its extension side-armson each side of the wheel, and the hounds of the tongue in front5 so as to turn the cart in the shortest possible curve. 7 V

- A represents the b ody. of the wagon; B B the carriage-wheels and axle; C, coupling, extending from the axle and projecting in front of the wagonjD, the tongue or shafts, for one or two horses; E, the hounds that are attached to: and hinged on a rod to the square revolvingplate G. This square plate Gris bolted to the coupling-pole C, and revolves on the bolt H as a pivot. At each side of the plate are attached three arms,
